Hasan and he really connected with each other when they talked, as it turns out his robotic acting was because he didn't want to garner any attention to him, like him, he was also on the run, which is why he wanted to stay low-key. But that didn't turn out the way he had hoped.

Igor and his men found out real soon that he was an Earthian, just like them. The fact that Igor was an Eacthinan, came as shock to Dave, that guy was in the same boat as them, yet still, that prick gave them this job, just to get back on Hasan.

As it turns out, the city lord, Sonia, had met Hasan as he came to the city, she was the one that granted him a place to stay, as her lover, Igor is sort of jealous of him, that is why he acts like this, hoping to kill him by sending him on dangerous missions. He was only caught in the crossfire of their fight…

"Is there any way that we can get out of this situation? Because as much I like to admit it, I would rather stay here and get drunk." Dave asked, but Hasan shook his head.

"No, we cannot do that. Igor hates me, and he would make sure to use insubordination against us, making things difficult for us. If we want to live in Vecrus, we have to play by his rules."

"I get it… Wait, do you know some people who are willing to help us?"

"No. I used to work in a party, but since I have come here, I have worked alone." He felt sorry for the man, the giant was just like him, alone with no one to rely on.

"Is that so."

"What should we do then?"

"For now, let's rest. I think I would like to buy some things from the dungeon before tomorrow's expedition."

"What should I do?"

"Prepare yourself. There is a chance, that we will meet an evolutionized monster tomorrow. They are not easy to deal with, especially when you have no skills."

"That is true…"

It is then Hasan shifted in the chair. "Speaking of skills, you dont have the body of deer in your inventory now would you?"

"No, I just left it there. I was a vegan when I came here, and I intend to be one even if I am stuck here." He lied, after all, what he has in his inventory is not that giant's business.

"That is good to know." Hasan then got up. Both of them then shook each other's hands. "Alright then, we will meet here at dawn," then they parted ways…

He didn't tell Hasan everything that had happened to him, the thing was that he didn't know whether he could trust him or not, also, divulging too much information to a stranger didn't make sense to him, and he felt like it was a wise decision.

Now he faced a real problem, should he stay here, or leave Vecrus forever? It was not like he was attached to this place, he wanted to leave because his secret has come out, and he didn't know whether he should worry about it or not.

The worst thing was that he did this to himself, he was the one responsible, for all of this, so he sat down at the table again, and started thinking about what he should do…

Hasan stood in the line of the dungeon, waiting for his turn to come if he were to fight an evolutionized monster tomorrow he needed some items, Dave gave off some powerful vibes, he was strong for who hadn't spent a month in this place, but he didn't know whether he could be trusted or not.

So instead he felt like he needs to prepare himself for the worst-case scenario. While waiting, a message appeared before his eyes…

The God Hater is willing to give you his helping hand. Will you take it?

Y/N

'What… Who is this God Hater fellow?' he was confused as to what this message meant, he didn't need any help right now, not currently. Also, who was this God Hater? And why was he giving him a helping hand?

Hasan had joined the familia of Muscular Monkey, how come he didn't give him a helping hand, and this fellow was giving him one? As there was no cost of taking this helping hand, he felt like he should press 'Y', and after thinking for a while, he did.

As he did, another message appeared before his eyes…

Dave Gonsalves, aka, Grim Ripper is sent to kill you by Katrina.

It was one simple sentence, time slowed down around him. Reading that sentence, he realized what fool he had been, a Skistag being spotted near the forest, him coming across an elite goblin, and that man who was conveniently saw it all.

He was a fool as he could not see through his deception. His blood started boiling with anger, Katrina, that bitch from Hope Party, not only betrayed his trust, but also made a fool out of him, but that was not enough for her, now she wanted to kill him as well.

He looked towards the dungeon, started thinking, about how he would kill Dave, he wanted his death to be so brutal, that it would make anyone's skin crawl. Maybe he will send that man's head as a trophy, to that bitch…

The God Hater is willing to give you his helping hand. Will you take it?

Y/N

Dave was silently eating his food when he suddenly received the message. Immediately he clicked 'N', he didn't need any assistance from the Gods. But as soon as he clicked 'N', the same message appeared before him again.

He realized that this was the same as an invitation from this fellow, no matter how much he says no, this guy would keep on bugging him. He tried to command his system to make this message disappear, but that didn't help.

In the end, he had to click 'Y', otherwise, this window was blocking his view. Soon another message appeared before him…

Hasan is coming to kill you and acquire the Skistag. Prepare yourself.
